PM Modi receives Daruma doll from Seishi Hirose, Chief Priest of Shorinzan Daruma-Ji temple in Japan, what is special about this doll?


Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Friday presented a Daruma doll in Japan by Rev Seishi Hirose, Chief Priest of the Shorinzan Daruma-Ji temple, Takasaki-Gunma. This special gesture reaffirms the close civilizational and spiritual ties between India and Japan.



The Daruma doll is considered auspicious and a good luck charm in Japanese culture. Takasaki City in Gunma is the birthplace of the famous Daruma dolls. The Daruma tradition in Japan is based on the legacy of Bodhidharma, an Indian monk from Kancheepuram, known in Japan as Daruma Daishi, who is said to have travelled here over a thousand years ago.
